Reed: #1 (Allen Securities)

Olivia Cross left behind her abusive alcoholic mother to move on to a better life, a new job at a library and a chance to actually get ahead. All of that is threatened when her brother drags her back into the seedy world of greed, violence and corruption she€s tried desperately to flee.

Private security contractor Reed Allen isn€t about to let a burning attraction rope him in again. He€s already felt the sting of letting his heart rather than his head lead him. He€s just there to do the job and get paid, even if a certain spunky beautiful librarian has him feeling things he thought long since buried.

Keeping Olivia safe is the easy part. Resisting their passionate urges could prove to be much harder.

They€ll have to mend their broken hearts and move on from their painful pasts for a chance at a future.
